Nejishiki

Nejishiki

Yoshiharu Tsuge ; series editor Mitsuhiro Asakawa ; co-editor translator and essay Ryan Holmberg
Book - 2023

"Nejishiki represents the pinnacle of avant-garde manga. Originally published in the legendary alt-manga magazine Garo in 1968, the title story marks cult cartoonist Yoshiharu Tsuge's radical turn to dreams, surrealism, and existential horror. Tsuge's literary landscapes were once lush and inviting; now they are shadowy and haunted. His cheery travelers have lost their innocence; they have been replaced by alienated wanderers pursued by menancing doppelgangers, unsavory sexual impulses, and omens of death. The psychologically and erotically charged stories collected here revolutionized manga, galvanized Japanese comics criticism, and stand as some of the strangest fruits of the countercultural discontent of the late '60s. They remain just as shocking and vivid today"--Back cover.
